Note: The above utilities will not give you your password if you
have lost of forgotten it. The instructions say that you are to go into
ODU or your local site, but ignore them. Instead, call 757 683-3192 and
tell them you are an online student. They will verify your social security
number, then give you a new password over the phone.

How does this work?

We will work inside a Web virtual classroom environment called BlackBoard.
In it there are places to view assignments, post and respond to messages
from other course participants, take tests and submit some assignments.
You will need to plan on logging into BlackBoard at least twice a week.
This can be done at any time.

When do we meet?

We don't! This is an asynchronous online class, which means we neither
physically meet nor hold scheduled classes. Instead, you will need to
log into the course teaching environment regularly. There you will interact
with the instructor and your fellow participants.

This sounds hard. Do I have to learn new software?

Not really! Blackboard works like most web sites, and you'll find it
easy to get around after a few minutes. To learn all the ins and outs
of Blackboard you can take a tutorial provided by ODU by going to http://www.odu.edu/dl/clt/bb/
